New Tattoo - Saving Abel

Sometime in the summer of '96I was off on a road tripA couple hundred bucks and a case of beerOutside Panama City limits is where it all begins

2 am. I saw hazard lightsAppeared to be a dame distressed in the nightShe was 5 foot 6 and damn she was builtI slammed on the brakes and got sideways and told her to get in

She said, where you headed to the city? I said yeah! I'm gonna have some funShe tossed back her hair in confidenceAnd said mind if I come?

2 days later we ain't left the roomDid all in there that we could think to doI could see she was restless so we hit the townEnded up at a place where the windows readTattoos, piercings, belly rings hereTattoos, piercings, belly rings here

Into the back she went and disappearedReappeared an hour later cheesing ear to earI thought hell I need to try and get back thereWhen she unzipped her pants and said looky here:

I gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youI gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youThe blue is for the bruise that you left in my heartAnd the red if for the color we're 'bout to paint this townOooh, I gotta new tattoo

One week passed, woke up a day late for workI found my goodtime gone and she took my shirtDrove by all the places that we had beenThere was one where the windows readTattoos, piercings, belly rings hereTattoos, piercings, belly rings here

Into the back I went and disappearedReappeared an hour later cheesing ear to earI gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youI gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youThe blue is for the bruise that you left in my heartAnd the red if for the color we're 'bout to paint this townOooh, I gotta new tattoo

And I, cannot forgetThat smile when she said

I gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youI gotta brand new tattooAll the colors in it remind me of youThe blue is for the bruise that you left in my heartAnd the red if for the color we're 'bout to paint this townOooh, I gotta new tattoo
